LEON TRESTMAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COAT-HANGER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, LEON Tnns'rMAN, a subject of the Czar of Russia, anda resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the countyand State of New York, have invented a new and improved Coatl-langer, oiwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to coat hangers, and

especially to the cords or chains which are attached on the inner sideoi the collar to enable the same to be hung upon a hook.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved anchor plate whichcan be readily secured to the material of the garment. There are two oithese anchor plates provided, and they are connected by a chain.

The invention consists in the construction and combination oi parts tobe more fully described hereinafter and particularly set forth in theclaims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part oithis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the iiguros.

Figure l is a perspective showing the point at which the device isattached to the collar oi' the garment; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectiontaken through one of the anchor plates and illustrates the manner inwhich it is secured to the garment; Fig. 3 is a section taken on theline 3-3 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is a perspective of one of the anchorlates, representing the same as detached irom the garment and showing ashort portion of the chain.

Referring more particularly to the parts, 1, 1, represent the anchorplates which are connected by a chain 2, as indicated. rlhe constructionof these anchor plates is clearly shown in Figs. 2 to 4. Each anchorplate comprises a face plate 3 which is formed near its middle pointwith an elongated eye 4 having a longitudinal bar 5 therein. These faceplates 3 are kite-shaped, their small ends being disposed inwardly, oradjacent to each other, as shown. These ends are connected by the chain2, as indicated.

Each 'lace plate 3 is provided with a iastening clip 6 of pliablematerial, such as brass, which is bent to form a loop 7 around the bar 5and passing through the eye 4. The body oi' this fastener is formed intotwo tongues 8 which are disposed in alinement Specification of LettersPatent.

with each other and formed into points 9, and in applying the devicethese tongues are extended, lying against each other, and are thrustthrough the material oi the coat collar 10, as will be readilyunderstood. After they have been passed through the garment from theinner side, as shown, I apply on the outer side of the collar an innerplate 11, which has a transverse eye 12 near the middle, through whichthe tongues pass, as shown. After being passed through the eye 12, thetongues are bent away from each other and flattened against the iace ol'the plate, as indicated. On the outer face oi the plate 11, a pair oi`keepers 13 are attached by rivets, as shown. These keepers 13 are prei'-erably formed of pliable metal extend transversely when the tongues 8are bent against the face of the plate, and aiter the tongues are bentas described, the keepers are bent downwardly against the outer iaces ofthe tongues. ln this way the tongues are clenched in position so thatthey cannot be displaced from their iolded condition without bending thekeepers out of their bent position. In this way a very effective meansis provided for locking the anchor plates to the garment.

Tfhile l have described the device as applied at the coat collar, toattach a hanging chain to, it is obvious that the anchor plate may beattached at any point on the garment for securing a chain thereto, suchas a key chain or the like.

Having thus described my invention, l claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent,-

1. An anchor plate ol` the class described, comprising a `lace plate, aclip attached t-o said i'ace plate and adapted to pass through agarment, an inside plate having an eye receiving said clip, said cliphaving tongues adapted to be bent against the face of said inside plate,and movable members Jfor securing said tongues on said plate.

2. In a device of the class described, in combination, a face plate, aclip attached to said face plate and having tongues extending inwardly,and an inner plate having an eye through which said tongues pass, saidtongues being adapted to be flattened against the face of said innerplate, said inner plate having movable keepers attached thereto adaptedto fold over said tongues to hold the same in their folded condition.
